SUBSCRIPTION - Obstinacy of Divines.

3 Burnet. 276 Extract of Cox's Letter to Weidman a Divine of Zurich in the year 1559 soon after the accession of Q. Elizabeth. "Great opposition was made to every good motion"
"by the scribes & Pharisees in the House of Lords; for there was none there"
"that could maintain arguments against the Bishops"
— "Some of the Nobility came"
"every day over to them (the Reformers) & many"
"of the people, but not one of the Clergy: They"
"stuck all together as a Body that could not"
"be moved."

I think it must now at least be conspicuous plain - clear that
nothing will do with them but Force — Yes, Force I repeat it
I mean that sort of Force which a Parent
anxious for the morals uses to a froward child when he snatches the
needle out of his hands just ready with which he would put
a Bird's eyes out — Poor child it will doubtless
whimper for a time — but soon will give it a little time, & it will betake itself
to it's Sugar Plums & forget all that is what's past Non Petitioners who beg to be excused from their raising their expectations.
